Nokia 9 renders show bezel-less design

Not quite what this
schematic showed, but these Nokia 9 renders show a hip bezel-less design. The
fingerprint reader leaves the front for a cozy place below the dual Zeiss
camera on the back – nice and centered, low and easy to reach.

On the front is an alleged AMOLED display
with a curved glass (the back glass is curved as well). GFXBench claims that
the screen will measure 5.3 inches, same as the Nokia 8. Company reps hinted
that the 9 will have a larger screen, but even if GFX wasn’t exactly right
we’re probably looking at 5.5” tops.

The chipset will likely be a Snapdragon 835
(an 845 is a distant possibility). The camera could use the IMX 258 sensor
again, which comes in both RGB and monochrome versions (both are used on the
Nokia 8).

According to hearsay, the Nokia 9 will cost
€750 when it comes out (when that will be is unknown). It will be waterproof
(IP68), unlike the current Nokia 8 flagship.
